So this is our club's second season using Axtime but last year we focused on learning the new system and getting it running. This year we'd like to get the wireless results up and working using a router. Live results aren't really an option for us as data cost is ridiculous in Canada and we'd have to sign a contact for something we'd use 5-6 times a year.

So has anyone set up Axtime on a Mac using the wireless results? We're on an a Macbook Pro and since we're a smaller club 60-80 cars just have a couple of people doing timing. We'd like someone queuing cars using the app though.

I have the router set up on the Mac with a guest network and people can log in but it doesn't display results. This isn't exactly my area of expertise so I'm not sure how to make sure the results display when people type in the IP address on their phones.

@sjd - You should be able to get wireless results on anything with a browser. Putting in the IP address or http:\localhost should take you to the Club Home screen. From there, the day's event should be at the right side of the screen. Clicking on the event will take you to the Event Home page. You don't want people logging in, but they should still be able to see the results buttons by scrolling down toward the bottom of the event home screen.

That being said, we had very bad luck our first season when the public were trying to get on our network to see results. The flood of users often overwhelmed the router and prevented us from managing the event. I don't know if there is a Canadian equivalent, but we got a NetZero wireless dongle. It was about $75 USD and came with a year of free (limited, but plenty) cellular data service. Now that the year is up, we are buying data month by month only for when we need it, at about $15 USD per 30 days / 500MB (more than enough to publish a couple of events). Our management network is much more reliable without so many users on it.

We also have a spare laptop that we keep at the tent, facing out, with tiled windows for both the live Chrono view and the results page. Anyone can walk up and check results there.

Yeah, I get it. But a day's worth of posting live results is about 50 mb. Just make sure that your browser is only going to live.axti.me on the main computer, so it's not reloading Google or some other page on your metered internet. If you can get a very low monthly limit for an acceptable price, you'll be fine. I have 500 mb / month and that's more than enough for a couple of events. Good luck!

I guess a huge question would be: do most of your participants use a smartphone with a data plan? If your customers are already using data, then I'd push your club to use cellular data and push results up to live.axti.me ... it will make the experience better for YOU and THEM :-)
As mentioned, there is very little data that gets transferred doing live results.
If you do decide that a wireless router/AP is what you'll have to do, there are some good threads in this Hardware category discussing what to look for including models. You'll need something that can support MANY devices connecting at the same time.
Mac/PC - no difference in setup.
